2N2219A

 2N2222A

HIGH SPEED SWITCHES

DESCRIPTION
The 2N2219A and 2N2222A are silicon planar
epitaxial NPN transistors in Jedec TO-39 (for
2N2219A) and in Jedec TO-18 (for 2N2222A)
metal case. They are designed for high speed
switching application at collector current up to
500mA, and feature useful current gain over a
wide range of collector current, low leakage
currents and low saturation voltage.

2N2219A approved to CECC 50002-100,

2N2222A approved to CECC 50002-101 TO-18 TO-39
available on request.
